Fifteen years ago, a member of VFUMC participated in a week-long mission trip to Haiti to help build a community medical clinic, and began a long-term relationship between VFUMC and the people of Haiti. Through the years, working with organizations in the USA and missionaries in Haiti, members and pastors from VFUMC have helped the people of Haiti through a variety of projects: building a school that provides a low cost education, including a hot meal, to more than 270 preschoolers to 6th-grade children; building a church for a community that had none; building a home for 20 orphaned girls; repairing homes of poor Haitian families and building new homes for families.

Outreach

We are very serious about outreach missions. This is an overview but new missions are being discussed often. There are many levels someone can be involved, from donating, to participating in an event, to lending a hand around the community or even abroad on a mission trip.
